Abstract

This paper examines the financial impact of the mechanisms of internal corporate governance in the context of the Iraqi Stock Exchange (ISX). A quantitative research design was selected to answer the research questions and five hypotheses. Sixty items were used to measure the effects of the internal corporate governance mechanisms on the financial performance of the ISX. A sample  consisting of  Iraqi Stock Exchange branches was  chosen  using  the  standardized  random  sample  technique.  The  data analysis using SPSS version 25 and SmartPLS  3.28  showed the positive impact of the internal corporate governance mechanisms on the financial performance of the ISX. This result  showed  the  significance of  Board  Committees  in  improving  financial performance ( beta0.137; t4.343;  p0.001). Likewise, the  result  also  showed  the significant impact of Board of Directors on financial performance (beta0.217; t7.771; p0.000). Financial  Statements  &  Auditors  also  pose  a  major  significant  impact  on financial performance ( beta0.296; t6.508; p0.000), as does Ownership Structure  (beta0.209; t4.607; p0.000). Lastly, Stock-Based Compensation was also shown to pose  an impact  on  financial  performance ( beta0.167; t3.389;  p0.001).  This study's practical contribution is in addressing  the weak financial performance of  Iraqi commercial companies  and  urging  the  adoption  of  internal  governance  elements  to solve the problems between management and shareholders, which helps reduce risks and corporate collapse as well as boost financial performance.
